In the past, typical family in Korea is a big family. Grand Parents, Mother and father, and child. They worked on the farm.
They have rice farming, raise vegetables and so on.
So Parents take care of their grand parents and kids.

In Korea, most of family have a small family system.
My family is same as usual. I have parents and elder sister. That's all.
But in my opinion, having a big family is better than a small family.
Because it seems that many people don't know about helping each other.
Some people are very selfish and rude. it makes a wry face.
That's the reason why we have to have a big family.

china has about 20%population of the world's population.
for many years the communist goverment,under the leadership of MAO,encourage the grow of the population,believing that there was strength in numbers and a great nation needs a great population!
so between postwar poriod(1945-1970),the average number of kids per couple was about six.
but nowaday,the goverment began promoying a kid family,which have been criticzed by many family!

My family live in Busan, Korea. We are made up 4 person .( father, mother, old-brother, and me). Our house is apartment. This house have a 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom, kitchen, living room.
My father works as a self-management. so he go to office late.
My mother helps my father. They are leaves home together.
My brother is 25 years. he is absenting temporarily. But he go to university for studying his major everyday. His major is engineering.
He had gone to the Phlippine 2 years ago. So He can speak to English very well.

A typical family in my country is below following.
It consists of parents and two children.
They live in an apartment and apart away parents' father and mother.
Their average income is A＄45,000 per year.
When the new year comes nearly, ther go back to their home town during their holidays.
Father usually works and Mother is a houseworker. However, nowadays,
Mother also begins to work.

The traditional family in Taiwan is wife lives with the husband's family. Usually the couple live with the husband's parents and have 2~3 children. My family is a traditional family, I live with my grandparents(my father's side), my parents and my brother and sister. Actually my uncle's family just live in next to mine. We have a lot of fun when the special festival like Chinese New Year because we have over 15 people in my house.
However, the family composition is changing. People get married late and more of them don't want to have baby. Even though they have baby,they just want one. Like my aunt, she got married late and just have one child.
Nowadays the birth rate in Taiwan is the lowest country in the world. In the past, we are three generation in family but now we called little family. And couple don't want to live with their parents.
